No, they are not terrorists. "Terrorist" does not mean "people who cause harm."

Terrorism is using violence to push a political agenda or ideology, Charlottesville is proof enough that the alt right is a weaker version of Al Qaeda, both trying to do harm to Americans.

The alt right, in the few years of its existence, has less of a track record of violence than every other segment of the white supremacist movement.

The Alt right is a rebranding of older white supremacist groups, same ideology, just a new image to attract new suppoters.

No, it is not. It is a newish segment of the white supremacist movement with its own unique origins, subcultural make-up and activities. Please don't presume to lecture to me about white supremacy, something I've studied for over 20 years.

This is a nearly-meaningless distinction when they affiliate with, overlap with, and organize with established groups like Vanguard, the KKK, and the NSM.

Vanguard America was not established, it is a new group. As for the others, if there are no distinctions between them, then why did you mention Klan and NSM separately? The fact is that there are a number of different types of white supremacists and distinctions matter.

I don't think you do get my feelings on these groups.
